The Midlands - Weather Chat

[cyclonic happiness]

Huge wage of precipitation heading down the country. I'm getting excited now!

[Mair Snaw]

Heavy snow falling here in the peak district.... its got really heavy here in the last half hour.... if we get this until the morning could be a very good covering.....

[Costa Del Fal]

Have to say this dividing line tonight looks crucial as to Monday's dividing line as well. Seems like the same dividing line could be in place then so I am going for west of Birmingham as rain on Monday should any ppn make it here. Snow to the East, should it make there.

Beautiful out there, had to just have a little walk around haha. About a cm, not sure how the Met have me down for more than 6 hours left of it though, as the radar suggests it's almost over! I'm up for work at 6am so I'll find out I'm sure.

How high up are you? Oldbury is not that far away but may as well be in the Highlands of Scotland and myself in the Isles of Scilly for the difference in weather right now!

That's true providing temps drop away later so it freezes solid. Wont melt so quickly then

Hope so but Kingstanding is still a fair bit NE especially in relative terms wrt this set up. :/

Sitting in the conservatory listening to the rain, think it's just turning to sleet.... could this be the beginning?

[cyclonic happiness]

starting to settle on the roads now, i think the drizzle and rain must have washed the salt away. It's going to be dangerous out later, take care all!

The joys of working in petrol stations part time at weekends!! Sleep just isn't an option haha.

I'm looking out of my window facing SE and its definately turning sleety, it's starting to hit the window which suggests a slight change in wind direction...  

 

[Costa Del Fal]

Some hi-res models seem to show the front slightly intensifying again tomorrow rather than dying out completely so explains why the MO now have more light snow symbols scattered around tomorrow daytime. Won't amount to much but looks like the snow line may finally move west a little bit for some flurries here.

Where abouts are you in the black country out of interest? Still drizzle here like a mild autumn night. In fact it is rather Isles of Scilly esque with drizzle and low cloud/mist!

I will keep a close eye on your posts to see if it turns there if not my mom has a spare bed lol. Great to see midlanders getting some snow it was doom and gloom earlier.
